Astellia Signs Contract with Three UK

Astellia has signed a major contract with Three UK to successfully transform their network to a virtualized and software-based architecture. The agreement aims at providing the visibility and the capability to improve network performance and customer experience.

In order to maximize network resource utilization, reduce operation and maintenance (O&M) costs and be better equipped to respond to future industry changes, Three UK developed the network transformation strategy aiming to fully virtualize its traditional networks using NFV/SDN.

Astellia’s vProbes-based virtual monitoring solution is designed to effectively monitor traffic within the virtual infrastructure of Three UK’s network, raise alarms for performance degradation and troubleshoot issues. The solution will interface with the NFV orchestrator which controls the integration of new network services and virtual network functions into Three’s virtual framework.

Based on a big data architecture, Astellia’s solution will provide comprehensive network, subscriber and service analytics to improve customer’s quality of experience. The solution will support Customer Experience Management (CEM) use cases that will be used by multiple teams from across the business. They will address topics such as churn prediction, usage-based segmentation and customer experience for voice services (VoLTE, VoWiFi, etc.), video streaming, web browsing and messaging.
